Study Abroad: France or Italy? (History Major)

Applying to College
1

<p>I want to be a History professor and teach Ancient Rome so it would be an incredible experience to live in Italy and even get duel-citizenship (my dad was born in Italy so it only takes 3 years). </p>

<p>At the same time, I am learning French in college and-I love the women there as well. And I like the history in France but I cannot emphasize enough that the women in France are my favorite. </p>

<p>I would get the same experiences out of both Countries-I would learn a new language, see great art work, ancient structures, etc. So this makes the decision for me very difficult. </p>

<p>Another thing, since I want to teach Roman History, there is probably a thousand people like me in Italy whom inspire the same passion; whereas in France I might be able to stay there and get a job after my Doctorate degree (Let me know if this is an accurate assumption). </p>

<p>What do you guys think is the better choice for me?</p>

<p>I’m like you (I’m going for European history and teaching). For me, I find Italy to be a more historical location. You got the Renaissance, Colosseum, Pantheon, Carnivale, Leonardo, Raphael, Pompeii, etc. </p>

<p>I was having the same problem with deciding which to visit until I compared all the things I could do in different locations.</p>

<p>I hope some of this helps</p>
